January 03, 2013 07:20 PM Eastern Standard Time

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WeissLaw LLP, a national class action and shareholder rights law firm
with offices in New York City and Los Angeles, is investigating possible
breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the Board of
Directors of Duff & Phelps Corporation (“D&P” or the “Company”)
(NasdaqGS: DUF) arising from its agreement for D&P to be acquired by The
Carlyle Group, Stone Point Capital LLC, Pictet & Cie and Edmond de
Rothschild Group (the “Private Equity Firms”), in a transaction valued
at approximately $665.5 million. Under the terms of the proposed
transaction D&P shareholders will receive $15.55 in cash for each D&P
share they own. This price is below the target price set by certain
securities analysts.

WeissLaw LLP is investigating whether D&P’s Board acted in the best
interests of its public shareholders by actively shopping the Company to
maximize shareholder value for D&P’s public shareholders, prior to
entering into the proposed transaction with the Private Equity Firms. If
you own D&P shares and would like more information about your rights as
a shareholder or additional information concerning our investigation,
please contact Joshua M. Rubin either by email at info@weisslawllp.com
or by telephone at (888) 593-4771.

WeissLaw LLP has litigated hundreds of stockholder class and derivative
actions for violations of corporate and fiduciary duties. We have
recovered over a billion dollars for defrauded institutions and
individuals and obtained important corporate governance in these cases.
If you have information or would like legal advice concerning possible
corporate wrongdoing (including insider trading, waste of corporate
assets, accounting fraud, or issuing materially misleading information),
consumer fraud (including false advertising, defective products, or
other deceptive business practices), or anti-trust violations, please
